You can replace your URLs in PHPMyAdmin instead – make sure you have backed up your database though. You’d need to change this code and run it: UPDATE wp_posts SET guid = replace(guid, ‘http://www.old-url.co.uk’,’https://www.new-url.co.uk’); UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = replace(post_content, ‘http://www.old-url.co.uk’, ‘https://www.new-url.co.uk’); You might be able to bypass this step if you have a secure … Read more

I use https://wordpress.org/plugins/force-ssl/ and https://wordpress.org/plugins/http-https-remover/ This ensures that if I go to an http page I get redirected to https and that everything like images is requested over HTTPS.
